This has been my baby for almost a year now but i just feel like something new. It has the normal amount of scratches and chips as any player's markers would have. It has a few anno dings but that does not affect performance. I also took out the trigger spring responsible for the strength of the pull in order to make the trigger insanely light and really easy to rip on. This spring will not be included because it is pointless and i lost it after taking it out. Every thing else about this marker is normal. It shoots ropes and never fails.
